ection of a Democratic
President Assured!
The ADMINISTRATION
ENDORSED
Democrats Hold Their own
And Make Heavy Gains I'm
Republican States!

Democrats have reason to feel
satisfied with the results of the cleo
tons held in various States on Tues
day of last week. They have car
ried New York, Virginia and Mary
land, and are ready to enter upon
the Presidential contest of next
year with every prospect of sue
cess. Indeed, many conservative
men say the Democratic victory in
the Empire State assures the re-
election of President Cleveland.
We give summary of the voting
in the different States:
NEW YORK
The Democracy of the great piv-
otaI State have scored brilliant
victory in the face of great odds
They entered into the campaign
under many disadvantages, and he
was bold Democrat who predicted
the election of the State ticket
Henry Georges candidacy was
greatly feared, as it was known his
vote would be drawn principally
from the Democrats. On the other
hand, the Republicans thought they
had made ten-strike in the nom
ination of Colonel Fred Grant, and
the leaders did all in their power to
help along the George party. So
confident were they of victory that
they proclaimed the result would
show which way the State would
vote for President in 1898.
In spite of all this, the Democrats
won, and by a larger majority than
for several years past. Frederick
Cook, the Democratic candidate for
Secretary ofState, has defeated Fred
Grant by nearly 10000 majority.
Cook runs ahead of his ticket, and
the majority for the other democrat
ic candidates is not quite so large.
The Prohibition vote shows a slight
increase, while Henry Georges vote
in the entire State barely exceeds
the number he received in the city
alone last year.
The vote of New York city for
Secretary of State was as follows:
Cook, Dcmocat, 11O,7e1; Grant Re-
publican, $1,000; George, United
Labor, 1916; Huntington, Prohi-
ton, ,479; Hall, Progressive Labor,
1920. This is a Democratic plu-
rality of $4,000. Kings county, in
Guiding the city of Brooklyn, gave
Cook 1885; Grant, 1920; George,
1888; Huntington, 2,1O1. Erie
county including Buffalo, gave
Grant 100 plurality, "a Democratic
gain of 3,7OO over last year. Alba
ny gave Cook 2, 11OpIurality. Cook
carried Monroe county, including
the city of Rochester, where he re-
sides, by 1.554 plurality. The coun-
ty is generally Republican and last
year won't that way by 5000.
In New York city there was an
extraordinary fight on District At
tOrney, Colonel John r. Fellows,
the regular Democratic nominee,
and De Lancey Nicoll, the candi-
date of the Republicans. Irving Hall
Democrats, Mugwumps, Judas Pu-
liter and his Uorld. Fellows beats
NicoIl by over 10000, and the whole
Democratic ticket is elected by large
majorities.
All honor to the Democracy of
the Empire STATED
VIRGINIA.
The Old Dominion has buried
Boss Malone SO deep that he will
never again be heard from. The
Democrats have swept the State,
securing nearly a two-thirds ma
jority in the Legislature, which as
sures the election of Democratic
United States Senator to succeed
Riddleberger.
MARYLAND.
There was ahot fight in this State,
caused by the efforts of a number
of so-called "Reform Democrats"
and the knights of Labor to elect
the Republican ticket. There are
Republican gains in some sections,
but Jackson, Democratic candidate
for Governor, is elected by $4,000
majority, which is nearly up to the
usual figures. The Legislature is
Democratic by large majority.
OHIO.
